Healthy Banana Pancakes with 3 Ingredients
Can you believe that you can make pancakes with 3 ingredients only!? I must admit, I was a bit skeptical too! But since I can’t resist something as tempting as a 3 ingredients breakfast recipe, I gave it a go and oh did they surprised me!
Not only these Banana Pancakes taste absolutely delicious and are ridiculously fluffy, I LOVE the fact that they can be made without sugar!
To make this recipe, you will need (scroll down to the recipe card for all quantities):
- Ripe Bananas – the ripest the are, the sweeter the pancakes will be
- Eggs – medium size
- Self-Rising Flour – see below if using plain or all purpose flour
So No Milk and No Sugar needed here!
The best Bananas to use for this recipe are very ripe ones. There is no added sugar in this recipe, so the naturally sweet ripe bananas are a great alternative!
Using ripe bananas is a great way to completely remove processed sugar from your baked goods. Wanna give it a go? Try my Vegan Sugar-Free Banana Bread or my Banana Oatmeal Muffins!
Note that the size of the Bananas will affect the texture of the pancakes: if you use very small bananas, the pancakes might bit a bit more dry. Alternatively, if using large bananas, you might need to add some extra flour to avoid getting rather soggy pancakes. I personally use medium-sized bananas for this recipe.
Optional Addition
See this recipe as a “blank canvas” you can customise to your liking. Many, many other ingredients like nuts, fruits or spices can be used to make this recipe your own!
Here are a few ideas:
- Vanilla Extract
- Ground Cinnamon
- Chocolate Chips
- Blueberries
- Chopped Nuts
- Shredded or Desiccated Coconut
How to make Homemade Self-Rising Flour
Self-Rising Flour may not be an ingredient you have in your pantry; I personally never use it so I don’t tend to buy it. Good thing is: it is SUPER easy to make at home.
I now have a nice jar of homemade self-rising flour sitting in my pantry, waiting to be used to make these Banana Pancakes!
You will need:
- 1 cup of Flour
- 1 1/2 teasp of Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Note that this is a ratio to replace 1 cup of flour – you will not need all of it for this recipe. Feel free to reduce or double the quantities as required!
That’s it! Simply mix the three ingredients together and store it in an air-tight container or jar in your pantry. You will never need to buy some ever again!
How to make Banana Pancakes with No Added Sugar
These Fluffy Banana Pancakes are literally the easiest recipe ever. Just as easy as opening a box of pancake mix! Well, almost…
There are only 3 steps to make these quick and healthy pancakes.
- Mash the Ripe Bananas into a mixing bowl (if you find it hard to mash because the bananas are not ripe enough, place them for 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave. They will become much softer). The riper the bananas, the sweeter the pancakes will be
- Whisk in the Eggs
- Add the Self-Rising Flour
- Cook the pancakes in a greased skillet the same way you would bake any pancakes.
Done. Literally. Quickest Recipe ever written on this blog!
Tip to make this recipe
How to get perfectly round pancakes
Use a Round Pastry Ring or Large Round Cookie Cutter to create perfectly round pancakes. Place the Ring or Cutter in your pan and pour the pancake batter. Let it spread to the edges of the ring (rotating your pan to direct the batter if needed) then remove it straight away.
Your pancakes will cook in a perfectly round shape!
Adjusting the ingredients to get the perfect texture
Because the size of Bananas and Eggs can vary, you might need to slightly adjust the quantities. I always say that the first cooked pancake (just like the first Crepe!) should be a test run. Taste it, check the texture and adjust the batter if needed:
- The pancakes are soggy or seem raw in the middle: add a little bit more Self-Rising Flour, one tablespoon at the time. That is probably because your bananas or eggs are on the larger side
- The pancakes are dry: usually happens when you use small eggs and bananas. You might need to add a little bit more mashed bananas – start with half a banana and see if it improves the texture!
What to serve with these pancakes
To stay in the Healthy Banana Theme, I made some Sugar-Free Caramelised Bananas to serve with the Pancakes. It is just as easy to make as the pancakes.
To make the the Honey Caramelised Banana Toppings, you will need:
- One Banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of Honey
Place the honey in a warm skillet – it will melt and bubble straight away. Add the sliced Banana, quickly stir for 30 seconds to a minute until you get coloration on the bananas, then pour over the bananas.
This breakfast will be delicious with other toppings and sauces as well, for example:
- Chocolate Sauce
- Strawberry Sauce
- Stewed Rhubarb
- Salted Caramel Sauce
- Mango Coulis
- Easy Raspberry Coulis

Healthy 3 Ingredients Banana Pancakes (Sugar-Free)
Ingredients
Banana Pancakes
- 2 Bananas, medium size
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Self-Rising Flour, (*)
Caramelised Bananas
- 1 Banana, medium size
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Banana Pancakes
- Mash the Bananas into a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the Eggs and whisk until combined, then whisk in the Self-Rising Flour until no lumps remain.
- Grease a small skillet with cooking spray (or butter). Pour some Banana Pancake batter in the middle of the skillet, on medium heat. Leave to cook for about 1 minute, or until you can see bubbles appearing on the surface. Flip and leave to cook for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is cooked.
- See note under (*) below if the centre of the first pancake is mushy or soggy – you might need to add a little bit more flour.
Caramelised Banana Topping
- Thinly slice the Banana.
- Heat up a small skillet on low heat and drop the tablespoon of honey. It will melt and bubble straight away.
- Add the sliced Bananas and leave to caramelise for about a minute, stiring occasionally to flip the banana slices (see note 2)
- Serve over the Banana Pancakes, warm. Optionally, pour some Honey over the Pancakes if you would like them to be sweeter.
Notes
- This recipe will make 4 large Pancakes, or 8 Small Pancakes.
- Remove the caramelised bananas from the heat as soon as they turn golden, or they will start to become mushy.
